"ANNA KARENINA"

screens at 7:30 p.m. today and 2 p.m. Sunday at the Polk Theatre in Lakeland. The new "Anna Karenina" is as regal, romantic and tragic as ever. The Tolstoy tale of a bored wife and doting mother martyred by her scandalous love for a rakish cavalry officer in Imperial Russia is a perfect period vehicle for Keira Knightley, who always brings a chest-heaving sexuality to such pieces — even the understated romances of Jane Austen. A stellar cast waltzes through stunning sets, mixed with painted backdrops and model locomotives, some covered with snow from the pre-Soviet winters. Also starring Jude Law, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kelly Macdonald, Matthew Macfadyen. Rated R; for some sexuality and violence. Admission is $7 adults, $5 students/seniors.

"FOX ON THE FAIRWAY"

"LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL"

is presented by Lakeland Community Theatre. Sorority star Elle Woods doesn't take "no" for an answer. So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone "serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. The show, performed at the Lake Mirror Center in Lakeland, runs through Jan. 27. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Admission is $20 adults, $15 students, $10 age 12 and younger; 603-PLAY.

"DEAD TO THE LAST DROP"

comes from Lake Wales Little Theatre. The Ken Jones murder mystery, full of twists and turns, takes place in a coffeehouse/bookstore, complete with a crazy cast of characters. Shows are performed at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays; through Jan. 27 at 411 Third St. N., Lake Wales. Admission is $14 adults, $10 children; 679-8587.

"DIRT — THE MOVIE"
